The following was taken in the music room after cca. You can see bright specks flying about if you stare at it carefully. That's cus the music room is very dusty. It resembles the physics experiment to test for the Bronian motion of air particles. The dust specks are dancing about because they are constantly being randomly bombarded by air molecules. The dust particles reflect light and that's why we can see them flying about.

After listening to all the schools' pieces, I think the judges were really fair and I fully accept their judgement. Though I'm still sad about the bronze, I think we deserved it. Not that I can't accept it, but it's just because I felt we worked really hard, harder than the last SYF. But getting bronze again just feels like, even after 2 years, we didn't do anything productive. The level was definitely pushed higher this year. But in terms of placing (the order of schools who got GWH, Gold, Silver, Bronze), I think all schools were quite fairly judged.

There is going to be an SYF showcase sometime later this term. I hope we'll play even better. I think strings would have done better if everyone didn't panick on stage and end up rushing. It was getting hard to control up there but thankfully we managed to more or less pull it off together.

Sorry if anyone has been tired of me ranting on this topic for so long and if you've managed to read my blog till this point, I sincerely congratulate you. I aim to move on from SYF by the end of this long weekend. For a start, I've officially diverted my attention to MYEs. I woke up extremely late today and managed to pay off some of my massive sleep debt. But after that, I spent the rest of the day mainly revising (catching up for lost time.. cus cca got suspended for me to study 3 weeks late) and doing violin practice. Then I gave my brain some slacking time at night.
